Is There a Breast Lift Technique That Does Not Involve Moving the Nipple?

English Rose
I'm 29, & wear an F cup. Following some weight loss my breasts feel less firm & the skin is slacker but only around the sides, from the top of my ribs up into the armpit. From the front and on a 3/4 view they still look & feel full, perky, & the nipple position is good. But in profile the area where the breast joins the body is not pleasing, mostly on the left side which is the bigger breast. Is it possible just to pull up or excise some skin in this area, eg with an incision in the armpit?
